Jaffe Turns Katz to the Rail

Nível 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Cary Katz was down to around 18 big blinds and shipped all in for 1,080,000 in the hijack. Jonathan Jaffe was in the cutoff and asked for a count before making the call. The rest of the table folded and the cards were on their backs.

Cary Katz: 9♣9♦
Jonathan Jaffe: A♠K♣

The flop came Q♥Q♣7♦ and Katz was still out front with his pair of nines. However, the A♣ on the turn got Katz out of his seat as he was down to just two outs. The river was the 8♣ and that spelled the end for Katz in the Super High Roller.

Smith and Jorstad Collide on the Feature Table

Nível 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dan Smith and Espen Jorstad were heads up in a three-bet pot with the flop reading A♦Q♥2♥. Smith checked from the hijack and Jorstad stuck in a bet from the cutoff. Smith check-raised to 810,000 and Jorstad called.

The turn was the 8♠ and Smith led out with a bet of 600,000. Jorstad still called and the 2♠ paired the board on the river. Smith announced a bet of 1,500,000 on the river, leaving just a few chips behind. Jorstad used a time bank but eventually dumped his cards to the muck.

Spades Bad for Chen, Spades Good for Chen

Nível 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chris Brewer raised from middle position to 140,000 and was three-bet to 500,000 by James Chen on the button. Brewer called and fireworks ensued.

The dealer put out an all-spade board, consisting of the A♠5♠2♠ and Brewer checked over to Chen, who put out a bet of 300,000. Brewer responded with a check-raise to 700,000 and Chen then three-bet to 1,600,000, which Brewer called.

"Check," said Brewer.

"Did you just check in the dark?" asked Chen.

"Yes," said Brewer.

The turn brought the Q♠ and Chen moved all in, with Brewer snap calling.

Chris Brewer: A♦J♠
James Chen: 10♥9♥

The river 8♣ would be inconsequential as Chen was drawing dead to Brewer's flush.

"You gave me two opportunities to quit bluffing, but I just couldn't do it," laughed Chen.

In the very next hand, Brandon Steven raised to 140,000 from middle position and Chen called from late position.

Both players checked the 6♠Q♥J♠ flop and Steven lead out for 140,000 on the Q♠ turn, getting a call from Chen. Steven checked the 4♠ river and Chen put out a bet of 300,000, resulting in a frustrated fold from Steven.

Hellmuth Finds a Double Before the Break

Nível 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the last hand before the break, Phil Hellmuth and Martin Kabrhel had a large portion of their chips in the middle preflop. The flop came 9♠7♦5♦ and Hellmuth stuck in the last of his 300,000 chips in the middle on the button. Kabrhel called from the big blind and the hands were tabled.

Phil Hellmuth: J♣J♦
Martin Kabrhel: 8♠8♥

The 9♦ on the turn and the K♦ on the river improved Hellmuth to a flush in order to double-up.

"Well played Phil," Kabrhel needled afterward. "Suck out."

Kabrhel Kicks Einhorn to the Curb

Nível 13 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Einhorn opened to 160,000 from under the gun and Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 500,000 in the small blind. Einhorn four-bet shoved all in for 2,025,000 and Kabrhel asked for a count before making the call.

David Einhorn: A♦J♦
Martin Kabrhel: A♠K♦

Kabrhel was in a dominating position with the better of the two aces. The board ran out 10♠7♠4♥8♠5♥ and Einhorn was unable to find any help on the runout.
